Steven Universe spoilers AHOY

So Lapis straight up admitted to LIKING keeping Jasper trapped. She admits and recognized what she did was BAD and terrible. But she liked it? I’m glad she realizes what she did was horribly toxic. “I was terrible to you, I liked taking everything out on you. I needed to.”

What’s eerie is how Jasper was talking. Like holy Stockholm syndrome. “I’m the only one that can handle your kind of power!.” She was HAPPY she could survive Lapis?? Red flags, bb no.  And Jasper WANTS this? The damage is deep on both ends, like we predicted.

Also oh hey look, we were right about Lapis being able to kick Jasper’s ass. 6_9

“First you need a gem at the core of your being. Then you need a body that can turn into light. Then you need a partner you can trust with that light.”

Remember how much hate we got after Jailbreak aired, for saying that Lapis did not need to fuse with Jasper to “protect” Steven? I’m glad this also finally put to rest the idea that the initial fusion was forced, too. Just that “no” at the end of Alone At Sea, and look at that–no fusion.

Lapis admitted her role in this tragedy long before fandom at large probably will. 9_6 I really hope that helps her grow past it.

Jasper is going to need more than that to recover, though. Lapis absolutely broke her. Steven really needs to recognize both of them need help. It isn’t always a simple matter of “big picking on small”–and I think that’s a trope that’s needed to be turned on its head for a long time. Leave it to the Crewniverse!

This should go without saying, but someone just liking Jasper is no excuse to harass them. Not even a hour later I’ve been seeing it pop up in several places.

Don’t be that person, please.
